I'm sure the book is great, and that Rick is a wonderful story teller, but am I the only person on the planet who thinks that "eternal youth" is a really hellish idea?


(More a commentary on the "younger is better" way of thinking than anything else.  As you were.)

lol, when I left my 20s behind, it was more with a feeling of profound relief.  Glad to see I'm not the only one.

lol, trust me, the idea grows on you.

Also, it beats the alternatives, which are
1. death, and
2.  Finding a guy to paint your portrait so it ages and you stay young.  Do you know how difficult it is to find a painter with that kind of skill?  who also doesn't want to know if you've ever done nude modeling?  Honestly.  It's hardly worth googling names to try and find one.



I'm off to download a sample now.  Victorian adjectives have kept me away from Dorian Gray.  I'm assuming this version won't be nearly as...yeah.
